iMapInvasives - Report It!

What is iMap?

iMap is a free web-based map and database that shows where invasive species are on Maine's landscape.

Anyone in Maine can use iMap for information about invasive plants and animals in our state. A distribution map of invasive species by county or watershed is available to anyone, including non-registered users.

Please note that iMapInvasives works best in Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox

iMap can be an effective tool for citizen groups, landowners, and land managers. Registered users can use iMap to:

map invasive plant infestations

facilitate early detection and rapid response to new invasive species and infestations

track invasive species control efforts, to help improve best practices and outcomes over time

query data more finely and see individual records

search to see which invasive species have been reported in your town, watershed, or county

set up an email alert to be notified of new infestations in your area

create an assessment polygon to outline an area of infestation, and record the severity of and other information about the infestation

record areas where you have searched and whether or not you found anything

note treatments you have done

Can I report an invasive species without setting up a user account?

Yes, you can report invasives without an account at https://login.imapinvasives.org/meimi/report_invasives/. We will ask for your contact information so that we can follow-up if the species is new to the area, or if it is an early detection species for the state (these are good candidates for rapid response eradication efforts).
